The flowers are lovely - well deserved, Mom/Mom-in-Law/Grandma! I make kabobs all the time in the summer (OK, I lied - I make them maybe once each summer because they take so much work to feed more than two people, and outside on the grill in 120 degree weather is no fun!) - I use sirloin, instead of chicken...mushrooms, onions, peppers, pineapple, tomatoes. Yeah, I should make those more often - NOT! What the hell is a shark gauge...do you have something in your pool you're not telling me about?
